Pretty poor depiction, I am no fan of Custer being that my Southern ancestors fought him in a earlier war , however I do believe he would have behaved in this manor.
The guy should've never engaged the indians like that, it was going to be a massacre from the beginning; best idea he could've done was wait until more men came before engaging the camp. But no, Custer wanted all of the glory for himself.
its ironic most of soldiers were massacred in the battle of the little bighorn 1876 almost the same way the british army were massacred by the zulu in isandlwana in 1877
@Ben101JokerAshur86 g'day, apologise if i offend, but neither l.b.h. or izwl. were massacres. massacre normally refers to the killing of a group of unarmed people both sides at each incident were armed and fought. the british were not just outnumbered but they were out generaled by the zulu army;s indunas and the same applied to the events the greasy grass
@sgtgewart1 It is an American thing to say that when they lost a battle specially to Indians that it could not have been a military victory but it had to have been something like a massacre even if now some believe they were not as out numbered as was originally thought.Of course Custer's refusal to take the extra men and riffles offered him does raise questions to his competence.
@truvianni I hear what you are saying about the semantics of battle/massacre. When you say some believe there not as many as thought. where did this info. come from / Bartle-Frere did not learn from the little big horn, same as custer he split his command whilst not having current intel on enemies disposistion of their fighters
@sgtgewart1 if you look up this battle on Wikipedia you will see that it says that the Indians had somewhere between 900 and 1800 men so it is not exactly clear what their strength was.Of course like with any battle a lot depends on who one asks.I imagine the Indians would say the number of braves was less than 1800 just like I can imagine a Brit has a different version of Galipoli than you do as an Australian.

@CrimsonGuard1992 They will always use conventional tactics because they are based around univeristy , as compared to situational guerrilla tactics. custer used both. But guerilla tactics don't work against the masters of them. if he had known he had the smaller force he would have sought to use more elements of guerilla warfare, other then just using surprise. which when fighting a village, full of women and children mind you is kind of a low blow. good thing it didnt work because native scout
@CrimsonGuard1992 dude deadliest warrior much? guerilla tactics are only useful in a particular situation such as having a smaller force which is what you seem to be capitalizing on, so ill go with it. britain had a larger more superior force which is why to gain an advantage guerilla tactics were used and developed.
@X990126 I know that so in a way the US army was making the same mistake as the British. The US army still used conventional tactics against irregulars even though knew that the British lost partially due to irregular tactics.
what a minute this movie is Little Big Man....OK. Ah, it has been a long time since I have seen it but as I recall it says more about the 1960s then it does about the 1870s.
little big man is a great film. FUCK DANCES WITH WOLVES. they say dances with wolves was the first film to portray Indians in a positive way with indian actors, well i say to hell with that! this film had Indian actors and depicted them in a very accurate way.
this movie goes a little overboard in its depiction of CUSTER, a lot of it though is true..GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER, was a great soldier..but it went to his head..later on he thought he was invincible..it's true he hated GRANT, both men from OHIO. it's true he thought GRANT, was a drunk, which he was and it's true for the sake of the "IRON HORSE" he wanted to wipe out the entire INDIAN NATION. and it's true he gave little thought to "wiping" out indian women and children.
@801liveable wow dude you cant handle the truth can you, dude my family was there dumb shit you need to learn usa life and history from the people who were there.
Warrior my ass Custer was a bitch to me and every one just like the U S army back then.They could not get one native american by their self so they need help by other natives to find them thats not a Warrior to me.
@OAKLANDCHICANOS14 warrior my ass! You think these men were cowards? Many were civil war vets. They walked and rode into thousands of musketts and artillery in open fields. Sure, they needed native americans as trackers, but that doesn't make them poor warriors or weak.
@lionel21000 They were cowards first they needed help right a tru warrior diz not need help from others and most of them had guns when the native americans did have them at all till they take them from the U.S soldiers you call diz guy warrior what killed off people for no reason.And they were just stupid to fight with all the native warriors at little big horn
@OAKLANDCHICANOS14 What in the hell are you talking about? The Indians had BETTER rifles. They were using a mix of traditional bows/arrows as well as repeater rifles. The cavalry used single shot carbines. Also although unpleasant, they killed quite a few Indian warriors and some of them survived despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned showing they could fight. Even if fighting wasn't the thing to do, these men were certainly not cowards. I doubt that you would have that courage
For all the bleeding hearts who have no concept of what drives a man like G.A.Custer, he was the epitome of the dashing cavalry officer. He earned his spurs in the Civil War, and afterwards struggled retain his image. He screwed up, almost ended his career. This was his attempt to salvage that career. Yes, by following orders. Because that's what warriors do. If you can't understand the military mind, stfu and thank god they are there today, defending your cry-baby ass.
@urlocaldumbguys dont need to read any books what people make up lie's i know what happend BITCH trying to take people land what was not the U.S and was just trying to get all the gold out the land stupid ass i know what am talking about.You look up to dead guy's like this ?
Los verdaderos heroes de esta batalla son los pieles rojas, que eran los que defendian a sus familias y a su forma de vida, frente a este ejercito de asesinos y genocidos, comandados por este miserable criminal, el famoso Gral. Custer.
Al que se le representa en las peliculas como a un heroe cuando en realidad fue un cobarde genocida, asesino de mujeres y niños indefensos, y que aqui recibio todo su merecido.
Indians 1 Custer 0 after nine minutes of play everyone was scapled and no clothes left on. However if Custer had won it would have been a Victory instead of a massacre and he might have been the next President.
Hello, yes, not very good historically, but an incredibly entertaining film, one of my top 5 of all time. "Nazi?", you are a moron and undoubtedly a liberal. Why not criticize [justly so] those who ordered the army to round up the "hostiles"?
@Patriot1862 that hollywood shit heads for you. now that white are becoming minority they insultthe whites and make up history , they even made a movie showing we didnt go to the moon.
i agree with you. but i disagree that you should be defending the fact that he was following orders. there was once a nazi general who said "we were only following orders" when the russians found out he killed thousands of jews. they hung him and the rest of his battalion.
This is the biggest load of shit I have ever seen. 1970 propaganda. Custer was a good commander and leader. Civil War he was in an unbelievable number of battles. He did have a good plan for Little Big Horn and came within a whisker of making it succeed. The quicksand at the court of inquest proved this. Reno and Benteen were real cowards as proven by Weir.
custer was a coward. jim bridger, the first white man to see the salt lake, told custer to respect the sioux, custer didnt listen and custer died a age 36. he was an idiot he took the lives of those brave men only when custer what to be a hero. it could have been easily avoided. General George Armstrong Custer had what was coming, his death from wanting fame.
@Simulationkid Custer may've been many things, but coward certainly was not one of them. He won numerous engagements during the Civil Ward due to his dare-devil attitude. At the Little Bighorn, this did not pay off for him. And by the way, this segment of the battle is from the Dustin Hoffman film LITTLE BIG MAN which is a sort of dark comedy and not to be taken seriously. The Custer portrayed here is indeed a buffooon.
@Nefarioso im sorry if i siad he was a coward, he indeed wasnt a coward due to the fact that he thought he could kill these, these savages with the men he had with out waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Is awul what happened to ALL native americans. I'm embarrased. We stole their lands, killed their buffalo, and stripped them of their pride, while the Amish still to this day keep their traditions, and live the way they want to. No electricity, plow their fields with horse teams, ride in horse and buggy, and don't pay taxes. Why couldn't ntive americans be left alone? They were here first.
custer was a racist and a mass murderer. He slaughtered defenseless women and children and allowed those under his command to mutilate and commit atrocities that I wouldn't want to describe. If custer the christian had obeyed the words of his god then he would have stayed out of other peoples lands and villages. He was a liar and a promise breaker. His words and deeds were and are worthless.
@LostDecimal You're thinking of the Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado in 1864, that was Col. John Chivington who ordered that, not Custer. Custer was nowhere near sand creek when that happened because he was out east fighting in the civil war. And he did not allow those things to happen, he is just a scapegoat for all atrocities committed against indians. READ A FUCKING HISTORY BOOK!
U.S gov never had a native politic... The natives was there and the gov wanted the land so the easy and cheap way was to kill them all one way or the other...
Custer no fue mas q el clásico militarote gringo, siguiendo las políticas de robo d territorios d su gobierno clasico d los usa, la batalla es sólo una alegoría d la realidad quizá lo unico aceptable es q el regimiento de couster sufrió fuertes perdidas
CUSTER SUCK WE LEARNed about him from the best teacher in the state of kansas whos won awards, mr. hileman and he has been there and has alot of relics, custer slaughtered indiana villages befor this scene in little big man, kids and men, and wemon and they wanted revenge. they think custer had a brain desises also so thats why hes cooku dumb*****
This clip is a joke and anyone who takes anypart of it as being true, really needs to research history....never let one moment or action in history give you the ideal you know it all.
@medmond6 The movie's LITTLE BIG MAN,a leftwing reimagining of Custer and the vision of the old west as presented by the Golden Age Hollywood. It was a direct attack on films of directors like John Ford.
This movie is bull shit. Custer wasn't a hero but he wasn't the cold blooded maniac that a lot of people see him as today. There were no bad guys or good guys in this battle, it was between people who were trying to defend their way or life and men carrying out orders from their superiors. Custer is a scapegoat for the government's failed indian policy, which custer opposed. He didn't hate the indians he was just carrying out orders. Read some books on the topic to get better info than moives.
@tommybrannon General Custer graduated dead last in his graduating class at West Point. He should have never been given command of the 7th cavalry, or any unit for that matter. It turned out to be a fatal decision made by the US Army to appoint him in command. He MAY have been a good leader but he was a horrid tactician.
@JohnnyAmerica1327 ......True, but in every West Point Graduate Class, Someone had to be last. The bad thing is no one of will never know the real truth about Custer's Last Stand, It depends on how much research and like history. As for tactician, that is where he gained so much fame during the civil war. It really is hard to find good solid information, since anyone can write a book and impose their view. My View: a lot of great warriors died over lies made by guys waxing a seat with their ass.
@tommybrannon Custer was nothing short of a fool when it came to little big horn. He had close reinforcements and even Gatling Guns on station but didn't think he needed them. They were severely outnumbered yes, but a couple of Gatling guns would have tipped the scales in their favor no matter the opposition's numbers. Custer had the high ground, after all, the Sioux had to come to him. On top of that you should RARELY divide your forces when outnumbered. They should have fought as a whole.
where are all the black soilders the buffalos did they all run off or something. my teacher said they were there to but custer didnt let then fight beecause he was a bigot .?
@TheBayaker were the indians who masaced the white women and children nazies ,the war started the indian fight which was started by the indinas who also were at war with each other .
@tomanyasses guess thats what happens when you occupy another people's land... they get pissed off. remember where America comes from mate. I'd like to see people like you give up your fucking hamburgers without a fight...
@ziggy1415 ok dork white were here first in the east new evidence and rome was trading with south america two thousand years ago so the red skin came after whites the ice age sent most south or out of north america ok dork
@jbcowdery 80% of people are raised by, taught by, and taken their thought on life from movies and tv, so don't hold your breath waiting for people to actually research facts
@jbcowdery the difference between the natives and Custer and his men were that he had been sent to strike down ''bad guys'' while the the ''bad guys'' had there land invaded and was fighting on the brink of goddamn extinction. Don't you ever fucking say defend their way of life again you little twat. Have you ever read about how the native peoples land were reduced in like 50 years? take a look on a map between 1700 and 1850 and see how the real people of North America lost their land
Guess Custer was a hero when he was fighting and winning the Civil War against the slave states, but the communists forget about his service to the cause quickly. :-)
@Cedarray That is not true. Even the "North" wasn't really seem Blacks as human beings. They opposed Black slavery simply because, first, it drove wages down and encouraged more "imports of Blacks", and, second, it stood as a battle line to show who would control the Washington DC(protectionist industrial North or free trade Anglo friendly agricultural South).
@jbcowdery The fact of having cold blooded murderers like those with a cold blooded murderer in command just shows the mentality of the white invaders .That was no mistake ! That and other massacres of Indian people where a a cold blooded , well planned plan to genocide the indian nations ! Murderers since the beggining where the invaders .... and today , the greed and violence of USA continues ...
@jbcowdery yes and so what? if ur father 'said suck my dick' it's godd that u did it? NO. CUSTER=LOSER.WORD. u can't always excuse people's fault. Anyway; Peace
@jbcowdery i bet you wouldn't say that shit for an iraqi soldier or a Taliban member when they are in the same situation. Custer was a monster an arrogant and obnoxious monster and his stupidity got him killed
Great video I am from Ireland and have been studying these great People for many years now, its about time the American government apologized to Native Americans for stealing their land, lies and deceit. I am making my own site dedicated to a great man Sittingbull / stuart@sittingbull.co
One blunder in this film, like all Custer Films is his rank, a soldier calls Custer a General, he was a Lt. Col. when at the time of the Little Bighorn, his promotion to Major General was only for the duration of the Civil War, also Custer was probably the worst officer in the army, having graduated last in his class at West Point,
Remember this movie is a fictionized account from a 100something year old memories of his life so of course he would embellish the story with Custer losing his mind and with his golden locks in place etc., Excellent movie but if you want history try books.
Little Bighorn is one of those events where it's diffiult to seperate fact from fiction the truth about what happened that day more then likely lies somewhere in the middle since Reno's soldiers, Bentine's soldiers and the Native Americans were never allowed to tell their stories while veterans of the battle were still alive out of some misplaced belief that it would dishonor the men who were killed in the battle
@snakes3425 There weren't any veterans they all died. Custer's wife however lived til 1933 and zealousy guarded her husbands legacy. Consensus is that Custer was a very lucky man until that day. If you know what I mean.
Contrary to the popular legend the 7th Calvary lost about half of it's men. Custer split the unit into three columns, one under his direct command, one under Reno and one under Bentine which stayed behind to guard the baggage train. Only the collumn under Custer's direct command was wiped out, the other two were mauled but survived and were blamed for the disaster even though Custer was cut off and any attempt to break through the Indian lines would've been a suicide mission
@snakes3425 Yes, I misspoke doubly because there were veterans from the Indian side. I meant no one under Custer's direct command survived to give a version of the events.
The Indians, Reno, Benteen and their troopers were pretty much forbidden from giving their verson of the events and independent research also couldn't be published out of respect for Libby Custer and only her views were accepted as fact. Because Reno and Benteen's men came back alive they took the blame because no one wanted to say Custer was at fault while his widow was alive and that mentallity continued until the late 20th Century and sadly Libby outlived many veterans.
Respect for Libby Custer after Little Bighorn was so high that even veterans who'd served with Custer during the Civil War and the Battle/Massacure of Washita were all but forbidden to give their views of Custer or the events surrounding his campaigns. the nicest way of putting it was only Libby's books and Custer's own autobiography were seen as fact and like I said before by the time Libby Custer died many of those veterans had died as well
Wow brings back memories. Walked the battlefield when I was 7 with my dad. Wish I had stayed up with the history. Just bits and pieces from childhood. White markers, rolling hills. I will never forget a marker hundreds of yards from the others under heavy brush. What a day that must have been. Whatever you think politically some brave men died that day on both sides.
The Northern Cheyenne broke their one hundred year silence!?!?
They were talking in 1876. You can find plenty of Indian accounts. Meanwhile, General Terry's command claimed that they found Custer's body on last stand hill surrounded by other men. You think that Cheyenne woman dragged him up there? Custer was many things to many people, but even his enemies and detractors stayed clear of calling him a coward.
Custer shouldnt of dimounted to fight them, if he stayed on his horse some of his force would of been able to escape. But then if Benteen and Reno went to help him some of the 7th Cavalry would of survived. But Custer did get what he deserved because he wanted all the glory and he should of waited for Gibbon and the rest of the American army to come and support him. It was a very quick battle as the 200 men Custer had were just overwhelm by around a 1000 of indian warriors.
First of all Benteen and Reno were 7th Calvarly as well, in total at the time of the battle the 7th Calvary numbered around 700 Officers, Troopers, and Scouts and of that 268 were killed in the battle and a further 55 wounded as for Reno and Benteen they were cut off from Custer and were engaged in their own battles or guarding the supply train, the only thing Benteen and Reno could've done was send their collumns on what ammounted to a suicide mission.
Custer had divided his force of 650 or so men the day earlier. Captain Bentten or Reno's men under Custer, attacked the village at dawn surprising the Indian village. The Indians pushed them back but they all did not die! Custer took his remaing force 0f 260 or so along a ridge away from the south end. Custer had promised Benteen he would join him or reinforce him and he did not! However the Indians caught Custer and his 265 does not matter. They were overwhelmed. Not all the 7Th perished
Stop glorifying the Indians with all your political correctness. The Crow hated the Sioux and the Sioux picked on the tribes on the lower Missouri. The Backfeet made war on the Shoshone who has no British guns or horses and the Aztecs ripped the hearts out of females and males! Study your history! Little Bighorn or not the destruction of the Buffalo was the end of the plains Indian! The horses came from the Spanish and the guns from the Europeans which is why the plains Indian expanded!
No woman killed Custer! What the Indians said was that it was all over in 15 minutes. 263 men overwhelmed from all sides by probably at least 1,000 warriors.
If Custer goes in to reinforce Capt. Benteen then the 7Th would have survived the day. It would have been a draw with casualties on both sides. Custer simply overestimated his enemy strength and made his cause worse by dividng his force of 650 or so. Custer had been told to wait for two other federal armies. It was not complicated
natives did pretty well with the weapons they had with them. ofcourse, when a white man wins, its a great victory. when an indian wins, its a massacre. typical ;(
I´m a westerner, I´m always for europeans, where ever they are fighting, just or unjust. Indians killed each other before the europeans arrived, so why should I care? Aztecs and mayas were imperialists themselves. Are europeans bad because they arrived with ships to other parts of the world? My land, your land.... land belongs to the strongest, it has been so for 1000 of years!
JUST THOUGHT I'D ADD THIS LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION: Not one of Custers men survived this battle, along with Custer himself. So, who is left to account for what happened? The Indians. Don't get me wrong, I like Indians (part Sioux myself), but they were the ones who wrote down history....don't you think they would paint Custer to be the bad guy? Just think before you hate on the guy, that's all.
@Illyria23alyssa We know all about Custer before this battle. Bad Guy? Not for his times, but he certainly was a lucky sob, well his luck ran out at Little Bighorn.
The Indians had repeating rifles, the soldiers did not. Custer was found with a bullit to the head. Was it self-inflicted? We'll never know. Custer liked to make surprise attacks on villages, mainly in the winter villages. "Custer's Luck", finally ran out.
custer was a stuck up prick who never desirved to be a general. I am all for the indians! If you think i am bad the americans killed innocent indian women and children before this battle.
Best recreation of this battle ever.

@lionel21000 They were cowards first they needed help right a tru warrior diz not need help from others and most of them had guns when the native americans did have them at all till they take them from the U.S soldiers you call diz guy warrior what killed off people for no reason.And they were just stupid to fight with all the native warriors at little big horn
OAKLANDCHICANOS14 4 months ago
@OAKLANDCHICANOS14 What in the hell are you talking about? The Indians had BETTER rifles. They were using a mix of traditional bows/arrows as well as repeater rifles. The cavalry used single shot carbines. Also although unpleasant, they killed quite a few Indian warriors and some of them survived despite being heavily outnumbered and outgunned showing they could fight. Even if fighting wasn't the thing to do, these men were certainly not cowards. I doubt that you would have that courage
lionel21000 4 months ago
For all the bleeding hearts who have no concept of what drives a man like G.A.Custer, he was the epitome of the dashing cavalry officer. He earned his spurs in the Civil War, and afterwards struggled retain his image. He screwed up, almost ended his career. This was his attempt to salvage that career. Yes, by following orders. Because that's what warriors do. If you can't understand the military mind, stfu and thank god they are there today, defending your cry-baby ass.

This is the biggest load of shit I have ever seen. 1970 propaganda. Custer was a good commander and leader. Civil War he was in an unbelievable number of battles. He did have a good plan for Little Big Horn and came within a whisker of making it succeed. The quicksand at the court of inquest proved this. Reno and Benteen were real cowards as proven by Weir.

custer was a coward. jim bridger, the first white man to see the salt lake, told custer to respect the sioux, custer didnt listen and custer died a age 36. he was an idiot he took the lives of those brave men only when custer what to be a hero. it could have been easily avoided. General George Armstrong Custer had what was coming, his death from wanting fame.
Simulationkid 7 months ago
@Simulationkid Custer may've been many things, but coward certainly was not one of them. He won numerous engagements during the Civil Ward due to his dare-devil attitude. At the Little Bighorn, this did not pay off for him. And by the way, this segment of the battle is from the Dustin Hoffman film LITTLE BIG MAN which is a sort of dark comedy and not to be taken seriously. The Custer portrayed here is indeed a buffooon.

@LostDecimal You're thinking of the Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado in 1864, that was Col. John Chivington who ordered that, not Custer. Custer was nowhere near sand creek when that happened because he was out east fighting in the civil war. And he did not allow those things to happen, he is just a scapegoat for all atrocities committed against indians. READ A FUCKING HISTORY BOOK!

Custer is a scapegoat for the government's failed indian policy, which custer opposed. He didn't hate the indians he was just carrying out orders. Read some books on the topic to get better info than moives.

@tommybrannon General Custer graduated dead last in his graduating class at West Point. He should have never been given command of the 7th cavalry, or any unit for that matter. It turned out to be a fatal decision made by the US Army to appoint him in command. He MAY have been a good leader but he was a horrid tactician.

@JohnnyAmerica1327 ......True, but in every West Point Graduate Class, Someone had to be last. The bad thing is no one of will never know the real truth about Custer's Last Stand, It depends on how much research and like history. As for tactician, that is where he gained so much fame during the civil war. It really is hard to find good solid information, since anyone can write a book and impose their view. My View: a lot of great warriors died over lies made by guys waxing a seat with their ass.
tommybrannon 9 months ago
@tommybrannon Custer was nothing short of a fool when it came to little big horn. He had close reinforcements and even Gatling Guns on station but didn't think he needed them. They were severely outnumbered yes, but a couple of Gatling guns would have tipped the scales in their favor no matter the opposition's numbers. Custer had the high ground, after all, the Sioux had to come to him. On top of that you should RARELY divide your forces when outnumbered. They should have fought as a whole.

Little Bighorn is one of those events where it's diffiult to seperate fact from fiction the truth about what happened that day more then likely lies somewhere in the middle since Reno's soldiers, Bentine's soldiers and the Native Americans were never allowed to tell their stories while veterans of the battle were still alive out of some misplaced belief that it would dishonor the men who were killed in the battle
snakes3425 10 months ago

dredandmrbears 10 months ago
@dredandmrbears
Contrary to the popular legend the 7th Calvary lost about half of it's men. Custer split the unit into three columns, one under his direct command, one under Reno and one under Bentine which stayed behind to guard the baggage train. Only the collumn under Custer's direct command was wiped out, the other two were mauled but survived and were blamed for the disaster even though Custer was cut off and any attempt to break through the Indian lines would've been a suicide mission
snakes3425 10 months ago
@snakes3425 Yes, I misspoke doubly because there were veterans from the Indian side. I meant no one under Custer's direct command survived to give a version of the events.
dredandmrbears 10 months ago
@dredandmrbears
The Indians, Reno, Benteen and their troopers were pretty much forbidden from giving their verson of the events and independent research also couldn't be published out of respect for Libby Custer and only her views were accepted as fact. Because Reno and Benteen's men came back alive they took the blame because no one wanted to say Custer was at fault while his widow was alive and that mentallity continued until the late 20th Century and sadly Libby outlived many veterans.
snakes3425 10 months ago
@dredandmrbears
(500 character limit)
Respect for Libby Custer after Little Bighorn was so high that even veterans who'd served with Custer during the Civil War and the Battle/Massacure of Washita were all but forbidden to give their views of Custer or the events surrounding his campaigns. the nicest way of putting it was only Libby's books and Custer's own autobiography were seen as fact and like I said before by the time Libby Custer died many of those veterans had died as well

Custer shouldnt of dimounted to fight them, if he stayed on his horse some of his force would of been able to escape. But then if Benteen and Reno went to help him some of the 7th Cavalry would of survived. But Custer did get what he deserved because he wanted all the glory and he should of waited for Gibbon and the rest of the American army to come and support him. It was a very quick battle as the 200 men Custer had were just overwhelm by around a 1000 of indian warriors.

First of all Benteen and Reno were 7th Calvarly as well, in total at the time of the battle the 7th Calvary numbered around 700 Officers, Troopers, and Scouts and of that 268 were killed in the battle and a further 55 wounded as for Reno and Benteen they were cut off from Custer and were engaged in their own battles or guarding the supply train, the only thing Benteen and Reno could've done was send their collumns on what ammounted to a suicide mission.

Custer had divided his force of 650 or so men the day earlier. Captain Bentten or Reno's men under Custer, attacked the village at dawn surprising the Indian village. The Indians pushed them back but they all did not die! Custer took his remaing force 0f 260 or so along a ridge away from the south end. Custer had promised Benteen he would join him or reinforce him and he did not! However the Indians caught Custer and his 265 does not matter. They were overwhelmed. Not all the 7Th perished
Jack51971 11 months ago
Stop glorifying the Indians with all your political correctness. The Crow hated the Sioux and the Sioux picked on the tribes on the lower Missouri. The Backfeet made war on the Shoshone who has no British guns or horses and the Aztecs ripped the hearts out of females and males! Study your history! Little Bighorn or not the destruction of the Buffalo was the end of the plains Indian! The horses came from the Spanish and the guns from the Europeans which is why the plains Indian expanded!
Jack51971 11 months ago
No woman killed Custer! What the Indians said was that it was all over in 15 minutes. 263 men overwhelmed from all sides by probably at least 1,000 warriors.
If Custer goes in to reinforce Capt. Benteen then the 7Th would have survived the day. It would have been a draw with casualties on both sides. Custer simply overestimated his enemy strength and made his cause worse by dividng his force of 650 or so. Custer had been told to wait for two other federal armies. It was not complicated
